As America celebrates 250 years, on Day 2 of the Kentucky Electric Cooperatives Washington Youth Tour, part of the national Electric Cooperative Youth Tour, we introduced the delegation to two old friends, Thomas Jefferson and George Washington.
Touring Thomas Jefferson's Monticello and ...George Washington's Mount Vernon, we walked in the footsteps of our founding fathers, imagined their lives and the decisions they made, and spent time learning more about our nation and each other.
God Bless America!

On Monday, nearly 60 Kentucky high school students, accompanied by volunteer chaperones from local electric co-ops, hit the road for Day 1 of the 2026 Kentucky Electric Cooperatives Washington Youth Tour ( Electric Cooperative Youth Tour )
Since 1972, Kentucky's co-ops have sponsored this ...leadership experience to give the students a better understanding of the United States government, the nation’s history and cooperative values.
Kentucky's youth tour delegation will join about 1,800 other students in Washington, D.C. representing electric co-ops across the country.
Thanks to East Kentucky Power Cooperative for again hosting the youth tour kickoff.
Please keep our two youth tour busloads, and our nation's leaders in your prayers as this week unfolds.
As we celebrate the 250th anniversary of our nation's independence, may God Bless America!

Water and electricity don’t mix, especially during irrigation season. Simple steps like shutting off power before maintenance, checking equipment, and staying clear of overhead lines can help prevent accidents. A safety moment from Cumberland Valley Electric Cooperative's Rich Prewitt.

Elkton, thank you for celebrating with us at Todd County Park. Members stopped by today to pick up a free bucket and bulbs as a small token of appreciation for being part of Pennyrile Electric.
